![]() Boot space is an impressive 509-litres, so it’s good for a sneaky weekend away as well. It might be a little hefty in the weight department at a little over 1,800kg, and you will feel it in some tight corners, but it’s a genuinely beautiful car to drive. A little different to the slightly skittish rear-wheel drive supercharged V6 we drove a few years back, but just as much fun, for sure. Just to add to the handling goodness it also offers, it’s also all-wheel drive, ensuring it basically sticks to the road like superglue. Its performance and acceleration is addictive. ![]() You just want to drive, and drive, and drive, and you know, drive. You simply don’t want to leave it parked in the driveway, or at a park, or anywhere really. That’s the joy of driving a vehicle like the F-TYPE R. We didn’t even want to give the car back. The seats are super comfy though, so you may actually not want to get out, and that’s fine too, because except to fill up with fuel and stop for toilet breaks, we didn’t want to get out anyway.

Mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission, the Jaguar performance coupe has a claimed fuel economy of 11.3-litres/100km. ![]() Acceleration is ferocious – like an aggressive big cat, or a Jaguar really – so it kind of fits the bill. ![]() It’s not really of course, but it sure sounds sexy as you feed the power on. The soundtrack it offers up, especially under hard acceleration, is operatic. ![]()
